À propos de cet audio

 The conference is coming up on October 16th For more information and to purchase tickets to TechTainment™: https://www.laipla.net/techtainment-2025/ Being a professor in the age of AI — particularly generative AI — is both exciting and deeply challenging. As educators, we recognize that technology is evolving at a pace with which, even seasoned technologists struggle to keep up. Students are increasingly tempted to let AI do the thinking for them, believing they’re being efficient when, in fact, they may be shortcutting the deeper learning process. Using AI tools like ChatGPT should not be about replacing critical thought or original research. It’s about enhancing the learning journey, not skipping it. While these tools can assist in discovery, ideation, and even structure, they cannot substitute the human insights that come from struggle, context, collaboration, and lived experience. That’s why I challenge my students to think critically: What happens when the sources AI provides don't match course materials? What if AI misses the nuances, the legal precedents, or the emerging ethics in a topic? The danger is not just in misinformation — it's in the erosion of personal accountability and intellectual depth. This exact tension — between innovation and integrity — is what makes events like TechTainment™ so necessary. The intersection of technology, entertainment, and the law is a rapidly evolving space filled with complex and often controversial issues. There are a multitude of issues at the intersection of these areas. I am going to name a few, but my guest today has knowledge and depth that will convince you not to miss the upcoming 1-day TechTainment™ event. So, here goes: 1. Intellectual Property (IP) Challenges Piracy & Copyright Infringement Digital content is frequently shared illegally through unauthorized streaming and file-sharing platforms, causing major revenue losses. AI-Generated Content Legal ownership of AI-created art, music, or video remains uncertain. If AI uses copyrighted inputs to generate new outputs, is the result derivative, transformative, or something else entirely? Remixes, Memes & Fair Use Social media culture thrives on remixing existing works. However, the boundaries of ‘fair use’ are unclear, leaving creators legally vulnerable and platforms uncertain about enforcement. 2. AI and Deepfakes Fake Celebrity Content Deepfakes and voice cloning enable unauthorized, misleading, or defamatory representations of public figures—often used in fake ads, explicit content, or political misinformation. Consent & Image Rights There’s a growing legal and ethical concern over the use of a person’s likeness, voice, or performance without their consent, especially in AI-generated content. Legal Lag The rapid advancement of generative AI and deepfake technologies has outpaced existing laws, creating enforcement gaps and legislative uncertainty. 3. Streaming & Distribution Rights Global Licensing Issues Rights to distribute content differ by region. Streaming platforms face legal complexity in acquiring and managing these rights across jurisdictions. · Residuals & Fair Pay Creatives (writers, actors, directors) are demanding transparent compensation models for streamed content. This has led to major labor actions (e.g., 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes). · Windowing Conflicts Studios and platforms debate how long content should remain exclusive to one service before being released elsewhere — impacting revenue models and consumer access. 4. Content Moderation & Censorship Platform Liability Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch must balance free expression with moderating harmful content. Legal responsibility for user-generated content remains a contentious issue. Freedom of Speech vs. Harmful Content Legal systems struggle to balance free speech rights with the need to curb misinformation, hate speech, and online harassment. Government Regulations Laws differ by region 5. Privacy & Surveillance · Data Collection Entertainment platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube gather extensive user data (viewing habits, preferences, location, device usage). The ways this data is analyzed, monetized, or shared with third parties remain legally ambiguous and often undisclosed. · Facial Recognition & Biometrics Increasing use of biometric technologies in entertainment spaces—such as facial recognition at concerts, stadiums, and theme parks—raises major privacy concerns. There's a lack of clear legal guidelines around consent, storage, and misuse of biometric data. · Children’s Privacy Platforms aimed at children must comply with strict regulations like the Children’s Online Privacy Protections 6. Content Ownership in the Creator Economy Platform vs. Creator Control: Platforms like YouTube, TikTok and others often control ...
